I realize that this cartoon is nearly 20 years old, but it animates so poorly even against some of its peers (I watch Batman: TAS religiously and thatвЂ™s slightly older). IвЂ™ll get into the second part of the pilot/origin in a bit, but wanted to make some general notes. Thus, the two of them canвЂ™t do battle and the episode ends. ThereвЂ™s also the part about if one feels pain so does the other.

Of course, Billy feels betrayed by this, but due to the Code of the Dragon (which I guess is more than just a code, seems binding) neither brother can bring harm to the other. Billy follows them, engages in battle with the shadowy figure who turns out to be the Shadow Master, who in turn is revealed to actually be Jimmy, who has been brainwashed by the real Shadow Master since birth.

Not too shortly after becoming buddy buddy, Jimmy and Marian are kidnapped. They reconcile and explain whatвЂ™s been happening. He remarks something like вЂњNot him!вЂќ We cut again, and surprise surprise, Jimmy Lee happens to stumble into his brotherвЂ™s dojo just hours after the Dragon Master is revealed. More importantly, a shadowy figure sees the events as reported on by the news, and figures that this is the new Dragon Master.

The two meet, and we learn of some backstory about the вЂњCode of the DragonвЂќ and that is pretty much the moral guide the characters follow throughout the series so get accustomed to hearing about it. This is also when we are introduced to Marian Martin, a police officer. Billy makes his presence known to the world when some event is being held up. It is heavily implied that the master is going off to find death, and we never do see him again in the first two episodes so it makes sense. Billy Lee has been trained to become the next Dragon Master, and his teacher (Oldest Dragon) gives him the Dragon Sword before leaving the Dojo. As far as I know, we never see their father again for the rest of the series, not even in the pilot.ДЄnyhow, the series then jump cuts to 18 years in the future. We see that Billy Lee is given to Oldest Dragon (this is as best as I can find for a name for him) by his father who runs out in search of his other son, Jimmy. This is where we begin the series in the first episode. The two boys were separated shortly after birth, and wouldnвЂ™tГ‚В reconcileГ‚В for almost 18 years. The show starred brothers, Billy and Jimmy Lee. The animated series began airing in Sept of 1993, about 5 years after the release of the original game.

We are scheduled to watch the movie sometime this year for 151 Proof Movies, but this article will focus on the animated series. So yeah, Double Dragon was originally a game which eventually turned into an animated series and finally a movie. In hindsight that may seem a bit silly, but you have to realize 1)I was like 2 when the game came out and 2) Double Dragon really hasnвЂ™t been a popular brand in nearly 2 decades. Now, I know the movie comes last, but never really knew if the game was based on the cartoon or the cartoon on the game. Its a video game, its a movie, its a cartoon, and of course it has toys.

And by flow, I meant like most popular brands, Double Dragon crosses over to many mediums. What we can do however is look at some of these cartoons because letвЂ™s face it, weвЂ™re all still kids at heart here.Дouble Dragon has an interesting personal history, and to be honest until I started writing this article I really had no idea which direction the series flowed. ItвЂ™s really not much of a point to get into a discussion on which era shined the best and brightest. Much like music though, everyone assumes they lived in the golden age of animation, and the stuff that airs today is just junk. Cartoons, who doesnвЂ™t love them? Sure, the names may change and the animation may improve, but also all kids grow up with animation in their life.
